Thanks to CNM and everyone who has been involved in the project to find these butterflies. I know they have already been reported from this location but just wanted to put up these pics from today. A female, a male, eggs, the crowd flying, and female egg laying.

Great photos. Is the location correct - it looks like it is in West Lake?

That image of a crowd of adults flying is amazing, Were they all flying around the egg-laying site or are they hilltopping?
